Sydney Harbour Live Cam

History

The harbour at Balmain East, located on the western edge of Sydney’s inner suburbs, carries a rich historical significance that dates back to the early days of European settlement. The area was originally inhabited by the Wangal people of the Eora Nation, who relied on the waters of Sydney Harbour (Port Jackson) for sustenance, using fishing and foraging as their primary means of livelihood. Evidence of their cultural presence can still be found in rock engravings and middens scattered throughout the harbour region.
